METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENTITY RESOLUTION

Abstract:

A method for facilitating entity resolution is provided. A server generates a graph based on a first dataset comprising a first entity and a second dataset comprising a plurality of entities. Each node in the generated graph corresponds to the first entity or one of the plurality of entities. The server generates a plurality of embeddings for the plurality of nodes in the generated graph. Each of the plurality of embeddings represents an entity as a point in a d-dimensional embedding space. The server identifies a set of nearest neighbors for the first entity based on the plurality of embeddings. The server determines a similarity metric for each of the identified nearest neighbor with respect to the first entity. The server associates the first entity with a second entity of the second dataset that corresponds to a nearest neighbor in the set of nearest neighbors.
